More like he installed the rpm's from MySQL.com over the top of the one's from redhat. The scripts from the MySQL rpm's don't recognize the redhat rpms and the sripts from the redhat rpm's don't recognize the MySQL.com rpm's.
The rpms from redhat are out of date (they were out of date when 7.2 hit the streets, but I understand manufacturing cycles a bit and that couldn't be helped.). rpm -e all of the mysql rpms that you have installed. to get a list of them rpm -q mysql mysql-client mysql-devel, etc. then rpm -q MySQL MySQL-client to figure out which one's you have. then rpm -e the whole lot of them. then rpm -ivh MySQL-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm and MySQL-client-3.23.49a-1.i386.rpm. I've installed the 3.23.49a rpms on several machines and they work fine. I've never had any trouble with them.
